Table explanation
This table contains data on total vehicle kilometres of goods vehicles in the Netherlands (broken down by Dutch and foreign vehicles) and data of total kilometres and average annual kilometres of Dutch goods vehicles (broken down by Dutch and foreign territory).
All figures are further broken down by lorries and road tractors, by years of construction of the vehicle and by gross vehicle weight.
Data available from: 2001
Status of the figures:
Definite data are available for 2001 to 2015, and provisional data for 2016 and 2017.
Changes as of 12 November 2019
None, this statistic will not be continued. Relevant tables are mentioned under point 3.
When will new figures become available?
Not applicable, this statistic will not be continued.
Description topics
- Kilometres in the Netherlands
- The total distance travelled (in km) in the Netherlands by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate and vehicles with foreign registration plates.
Since 2001, Statistics Netherlands conducts an extensive annual survey based on odometer readings (see section 4 in the table notes, which includes a link to the survey description). Since 2001, data are therefore rounded off to the nearest 100,000 kilometres and are thus available in more detail than in prior years.- Total kilometres in the Netherlands
- The total distance travelled (in km) in the Netherlands by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate and vehicles with foreign registration plates.
- Kilometres by Dutch vehicles
- Kilometres by foreign vehicles
- The total distance travelled (in km) by foreign vehicles in the Netherlands.
- Kilometres by Dutch vehicles
- The total distance travelled (in km) in the Netherlands and abroad by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.

- The total distance travelled (in km) in the Netherlands and abroad by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Kilometres in the Netherlands
- Kilometres abroad
- The total distance travelled (in km) abroad by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Average annual kilometres
- The average number of kilometres per year travelled by a vehicle.
This includes vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.- Total average annual kilometres
- The average number of kilometres per year travelled by a vehicle.
This includes vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Average annual kilometres in Netherlands
- The average number of kilometres per year travelled by a vehicle in the Netherlands.
This includes vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Average annual kilometres abroad
- The average number of kilometres per year travelled by a vehicle abroad (outside the Netherlands).
This includes vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Dutch goods vehicles in use
- All lorries and road tractors with a valid Dutch registration number which are allowed to travel on the Dutch public road system during (part of) the year, including:
- lorries and road tractors which are in stock part of the year
- lorries and road tractors which are used part of the year on the Dutch public road system, e.g. new or imported vehicles and vehicles which are scrapped or exported during the year.
The calculated figures are higher than the number of registered lorries and road tractor units on the reference date 1 January, as published in the tables on the motor vehicle fleet.
Goods vehicles in use are all vehicles which could have been used during the entire year. The motor vehicle fleet only includes all motor vehicles with valid registration numbers on 1 January. Therefore, the actual number of motor vehicles is smaller.
